The Gift Guide

Tuesday, April 27, 2010

Bellybar is teaming up with Designs by Vanessa to offer my readers a chance at winning a prize pack of prenatal goodness. Bellybar offers snack bars, shakes and chews packed full of key prenatal vitamins and minerals (including Omega-3 DHA) women need before, during and after pregnancy. Bellybar recently sent me some of their products to review and my favorites were the Baby Needs Chocolate Bellybar and Due For Chocolate Shake. I can indulge my chocolate cravings and get in some extra vitamins for my baby at the same time. The bars are a super convenient and healthy snack to just toss in my purse and go, I'll definitely be picking up more!

Improve your mood and get your antioxidants by indulging in dark chocolate. Antioxidants protect against oxidation which is thought to cause cancer and heart disease. Eating chocolate in moderation will leave you feeling less deprived making you less likely to binge on junk food. And, for you expectant moms, new studies from Europe show that consuming chocolate during pregnancy has a positive impact on a baby’s behavior – and may help make a "happy baby"!

Note: Weight loss should not be attempted if you are expecting. Appropriate weight gain is essential for a healthy pregnancy.

"Whether traditionally wholesome or a chocolatey treat, all Bellybar flavors provide nutritional value in an all-natural and appetizing snack." *Thanks* for the giveaway!theluckyladybug[at]gmail[dot]com
